House Sends Health Care Bill To Obama's Desk President to sign reforms into law; 'fixes' still require House, Senate action

BREAKING

WASHINGTON - After well over a year of negotiations, setbacks, and political wrangling, the House has approved President Barack Obama’s top domestic policy initiative, sending a bill to massively overhaul the nation’s health insurance system to his desk to be signed and enacted into law.

The climactic chapter in a century-long quest for near universal coverage concludes with the House's 219-212 approval of a bill to extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade.

Republicans voted unanimously against the bill, which they say constitutes a government takeover of the health care system, financed by a trillion dollars in higher taxes and Medicare cuts combined.

“November? America won’t survive that long. The Tyrants next bill will be Amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens, giving them voting power this fall. Another 20 million Dem voters.”


WE MUST STOP AMNESTY! If there was ever a time when WE UNITE, COME OUT IN FORCE, IN FORCE! AND STOP THIS HORRIFIC ASSAULT AGAINST LEGAL AMERICANS, IT WILL BE NOW! AT SOME POINT IN OUR TIME, WE MUST STAND UP FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN...YOU SAW THE SMUG FACES OF THE POLITICANS AT THE CAPITOL THIS WEEKEND, AND YOU KNOW THEY MUST BE STOPPED. WE HAVE TO UNITE, AND HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION AND WE MUST SHOW UP IN THE MILLIONS TO STOP AMNESTY. GET OFF YOUR BEHINDS, PUT ASIDE SOME TRAVEL MONEY NOW FOR SHORT NOTICE TRAVEL PURPOSES, HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE AND COORDINATE WITH OTHERS TO TRAVEL ON SHORT NOTICE, AND UNITE WITH THOSE WHO BELIEVE AS YOU DO.

Now we must decide how we are going to accomplish our goal.

All but two of them are rejoicing in Heaven with Jesus and don’t care what silly things go on down here. We need a spiritual revival, not a revolt.

I made travel plans several weeks ago to visit Ft. Sumter this week. How ironic!

We need a spiritual revival, not a revolt.

Truer words were never spoken. A revival is for eternity, a revolt is a temporary fix.

I fear that we are in the end times. There will not be much we can do to change that; it has to happen some time to some generation and nobody wants to be that one.

However, we can certainly pray for a massive grassroots revival. At least get as many to heaven as possible, since that is the life that really counts.

I believe there will be one more big revival amidst much suffering before the last falling away.

The die seems to be cast for the demise of almost all we’ve called good in this great land . . . until after Armageddon.

ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions

JUST this puts every health insurance company out of business. JUST this.
